"It’s not common for a pair of luxury hotels to share a single building, but in the case of Raffles Makati and its neighbor, Fairmont Makati, the arrangement benefits everyone. Of the two, Raffles is more intimate and exclusive; every room is a sophisticated suite with dark wood flooring, a marble bathroom, original artwork, and private butler service. Guests are welcome to use the state-of-the-art facilities, including the sleek Fairmont spa, pool, and state-of-the-art fitness center, at the larger hotel next door. But at the end of the day, there are notable perks to staying at a boutique-style hotel — back at Raffles, there’s a private pool, tiled in bright blue with an elegant poolside bar, and complimentary afternoon tea and cocktails at Writers Bar, a stylish tribute to the famous writers who’ve stayed at the original Raffles Singapore over the years." - Tablet Hotels
